Shikshagraha Awards exist to change that, and the evidence shows it is working. Nominations for the 3rd Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by SFPI, are open until July 31, 2026 Shikshagraha, the people-led movement to improve public schools across India, has announced that nominations for the 3rd edition of the Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by The Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives, are now open until July 31, 2026. The awards recognise educators, community leaders, and grassroots changemakers who are reshaping public education from the inside out. “ India's public education system is the single greatest lever we have for an equal society. For too long, the educators doing extraordinary work in the most difficult conditions have gone unrecognised. When we celebrate these leaders, we inspire a thousand more to step forward ,” SD Shibulal, Co-founder, Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiative . Now in its third year, the awards have already proved that recognition is not symbolic; it is a catalyst. Past winners have used the financial support, credibility, and network that come with the award to scale their work in measurable ways. In Bihar, Kumari Guddi expanded her work beyond her school to create a community helpdesk, a scholarship fund, and a supply store for girls in neighbouring communities, now supporting 50 to 100 children across multiple schools. In Andhra Pradesh, Nellore Subhrahmanyam used the award to fulfil a two-decade-old dream: a mobile science bus that has now reached nearly 50 rural schools, up from 20. His work was featured in the March 2026 edition of Samagra Shiksha, and a documentary team from Pune is set to film his journey. In Madhya Pradesh, Muskan Ahirwar grew her community library Kitaabi Masti from 2,000 to 3,500 books and watched children begin showing up on their own, without being pushed. In Meghalaya, Batskhem Thabah saw media coverage of his award inspire teachers across the state to come forward with their own ideas. “ For nearly 20 years, I spent much of my own salary on this work. The award reassured my family and my community that this work was meaningful ,” Nellore Subhrahmanyam, Shikshagraha Award Winner, Andhra Pradesh . When we recognise these leaders, we are saying clearly that every child who walks out of a government school must walk out ready — with the foundations to learn, the confidence to lead, and the skills to navigate a world being reshaped by technology and climate ," Khushboo Awasthi, Co-Weaver of the Shikshagraha movement & Co-Founder of ShikshaLokam . Winners of the Shikshagraha Award receive financial support, national media coverage, access to a network of changemakers and civil society organisations, and the institutional credibility that opens doors to government departments, NGOs, and funders. The 2027 awards will be presented at InvokED, an annual global dialogue on education leadership where experts, educators, and changemakers come together to shape the movement towards education equity. The next InvokED is scheduled for February 26 & 27, 2027. Nominations are open to educators, school leaders, community volunteers, and anyone driving meaningful change within India's public education system, across all geographies, disciplines, and types of work. shikshagraha.org/awards . About Shikshagraha Shikshagraha is a people-powered movement to improve all 1 million public schools in India, so that every child experiences enriching learning and is ready for the future. Real change begins with the child at the centre — their learning, confidence, well-being, and aspirations, and with those closest to the child. The movement enables parents, women and youth to demand and support quality education, and equips teachers, school leaders, and officials with tools for micro-improvements towards systemic change. Currently, 35+ civil society, industry and philanthropic partners in the Shikshagraha network are collectively strengthening 1,17,000+ schools across 33 districts across 14 states & UTs. This includes enabling education leaders to lead need-based school improvements and amplifying women, youth and community participation in the public education system.

Through visible practice change and collective action by communities, governments, civil society, and markets, it reimagines what public schools can and must deliver. shikshagraha.org for more details.

Historic & Welcome Judgement of the Supreme Court of India on SIR
The historic verdict of theSupreme Court of India has finally reinforced the constitutional position and the role of the ECI, and also of the government FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS ASHWANI KUMAR CHRUNGOO On 27th May 2026, the three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India,headed by the Chief Justice of India, Justice Surya Kant, finally announced its judgement in respect of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, conducted by the ElectionCommission of India. In its historic judgement, the apex court said that the SIR was found on legitimate grounds and is in consonance with the Representation of the Peoples Act and the 1960 Rules. The Election Commissions decision to conduct the SIR remains within the statutory mandate, the Supreme Court further added. It is a great relief for the whole nation as this judgement is both welcomeand historic. The issue was pending in the highest court for the last around one year. It was made an issue by the opposition parties and their echo system when the Bihar elections were around the cornerlast year. The Election Commission of India (ECI), headed by the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, took an important decision in the second half of the year 2025, consequent upon a long discussion and debate within and outside the Commission, to conduct the SIR in the state of Bihar. The Commission made an announcement to this effect on 27 October, 2025 to go for a nationwide SIR, state by state, Bihar being the first state to undergo the process. A number of petitions were filed by a number of persons supported by various political parties and also the West Bengal government, with the plea that the ECI had no powers to conduct the SIR. This process of SIR was also conducted earlier, during the governments of Congress and the NDA. The last SIR was conducted by the ECI during the government of NDA headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the year 2003. During those processes at different intervals, there was no fuss created by the political parties and others in this connection. However, this time, the opposition and their echo-system went politically berserk and tried to create obstacles to stop it. Petitioning the apex court was also a part of the same exercise. When SIR was initiated in the state of Bihar, the leader of the opposition in theLok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, campaigned against it throughout the state and even went to the extent to call it Vote-Chori. He, along with his other colleagues, tried to bring the whole process under the scanner and also tried to bring the results of the polls after conducting SIR under the radar of suspicion. This was indeed a vicious game-plan to jeopardise the whole process of SIR. Besides attacking the SIR, the opposition also raised issues with regard to the procedure of the SIR. In addition to Bihar, other states political leaders also jumped into it and in regard to West Bengal, the SIR was specifically opposed to shielding the illegal infiltrators in the state who were part of the oppositions vote-bank all along. The Supreme Court of India held the SIR as constitutionally valid and correct, and even upheld the procedure of the process. It categorically said that the SIR has strengthened democracy and in case there was any sort of grievance against it at any level, there are various forums where these can be addressed and found ways to mitigate the issues involved. This is indeed a severe setback to all those who kept on raising the issue publicly and privatelyto snub the constitutionally mandated Special Intensive Revision of the general electoral rolls in the country. The opposition and their echo-system attacked the Election Commission of India lock, stock and barrel and even personally attackedthe Chief Election Commissioner on the issue. The ECI and its head didnt lose either the temper or the patience and continued with their work, and gained the confidence of the Supreme Court of India by its statements, work and constitutional arguments in the court. In Bihar, the election campaigning was influenced by the debate on SIR.The people in general in Bihar cooperated with the ECI and participated in the process generously.Congress and its leaders maintained their opposition to it throughout, but the main opposition party in Bihar -the RJD and its leaders didnt give a great heed to this agenda in their campaigning. The main opposition was centred around in regard to the powers of the ECI to ascertainthe citizenship of the voters. It was said that the ECI had no powers to determine the citizenship of the voters, and it was the prerogative only of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). While it is a fact that the determination of citizenship in India falls under the domain of the MHA, the ECI, however, can ask the voters for the documents certifying their Indian citizenship. As per the law and the existing rules, a person has two qualifications to become a voter inIndia, i.e. he or she should have attained the age of 18 years, and he or she should be a bonafide citizen of India.In order to satisfy the ECI officials in this regard, one needs to produce the Date of Birth certificate to prove ones claim to become a voter. Secondly, the ECI has made a list of documents which can be produced and provided to it to prove ones citizenship of India. Earlier, the political parties, the government officials and some ECI deputed employees would overlook this important aspect at the time of making voters. Consequently, a large number of non-genuine voters found a way to be on the voters lists. Moreover, voters needed to be deleted fromthe existing voters list due to their death, migration to other areas, enrolment at more than one place in the lists and having wrong names, parentage and address entered at the time of enrolment. In order to nullify these variousdiscrepancies in the lists, SIR became obligatory. The governments and the political
